Abstract

Responsible leadership can be expressed as the ability to design and implement responsibility-oriented activities to establish relationships that will build trust with all internal and external stakeholders of the organization, and to create a common and shared vision. Although there has been an increasing interest in the concept of responsible leadership in the international literature in recent years, it has been observed that the number of publications in the national literature is limited. Therefore, this research aims to translate the Responsible Leadership Scale into Turkish in order to eliminate this deficiency. The sample of the research consists of non-management service sector employees. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis performed within the scope of validity, a five-item and single-factor measurement tool was obtained, which explained 74% of the total variance, in line with the original scale. As a result of confirmatory factor analysis, it was determined that the model had very high fit values. After the convergence and divergence validity of the scale, measurement equivalence was also calculated. The study differs from other scale adaptation studies thanks to its measurement equivalence. According to the results obtained, it is evaluated that the scale is a reliable and valid measurement tool compatible with the Turkish cultural structure.

SORUMLU LİDERLİK: BİR ÖLÇEK UYARLAMA ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Sorumlu liderlik; örgütün iç ve dış tüm paydaşlarında güven oluşturacak ilişkiler kurmak, ortak ve paylaşılan bir vizyon yaratmak için sorumluluk odaklı faaliyetleri tasarlama ve yürürlüğe koyma yeteneği olarak ifade edilebilir. Uluslararası literatürde son yıllarda sorumlu liderlik kavramına yönelik artan bir ilgi olmasına rağmen, ulusal literatürdeki yayın sayısının sınırlı düzeyde olduğu gözlenmiştir. Dolayısıyla araştırma, bu eksikliği gidermeyi ve Sorumlu Liderlik Ölçeği’ni Türkçe’ye kazandırmayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, yönetici olmayan hizmet sektörü çalışanları oluşturmaktadır. Geçerlik kapsamında yapılan açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda, toplam varyansın %74’ünü açıklayan, orijinal ölçekle uyumlu şekilde beş maddeli ve tek faktörlü bir ölçüm aracı elde edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda ise modelin oldukça yüksek uyum değerlerine sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ölçeğin birleşme ve ayrışma geçerliğinden sonra ölçüm denkliği de hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma, ölçüm denkliği sayesinde diğer ölçek uyarlama araştırmalarından ayrılmaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, ölçeğin Türk kültür yapısı ile uyumlu, güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçüm aracı olduğu değerlendirilmektedir.
